 * Three star IPS ranks may exist, but they aren't designated as Dy. SP but rather as ASP. Let me rectify this. Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 16:44, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The way you have edited it makes it appear that they do not exist. Please edit appropriately.Myopia123 (talk) 16:46, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * that's because they don't, in most of the northern states at least. You see  'Public Order'  in India is a state matter, so it's up to the respective state govt.s to retain or abolish a rank.
 * e.g. You may have noticed that in Kerala the rank Additional Superintendent of Police doesn't exist.
 * I'd add a note explaining that if and when I get the time. Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 16:54, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

In the Indian police system, gazetted officers include all Indian Police Service (IPS) officers who are Class I officers of the cadre, as well as all State Police Services officers of and above the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP). DSP is indeed a gazetted officer. Don't write transparent lies
